The movie has two parallel story lines where Paltrow plays a young woman whose life takes two very different paths based on whether she catches a train or not. Intriguing.

I saw it years ago, not a fave of mine, but I do like Gwyneth a lot, and of late she's been guesting on "Glee", in a great role, and she's such a good singer.

We'll be getting "The Avengers" DVD soon, though she's not in it a lot. Next "Iron Man" out in May unless date changes.

Oh. I wanted to see a series set in one of the time periods they visited in the specials.

Have turned my attention to some tv programming I have missed out on. Just finished season one of AMC's Hell on Wheels and am loving it. Should appeal to fans of Deadwood or those who enjoy a good Western. This takes place just after the Civil War and focuses on the building of the Transcontinental Railroad.

Have been enjoying "Lie To Me" on Netflix lately. It's a bit fantastical, but I kind of enjoy that sort of show - and Tim Roth is engaging, watching him and Jennifer Beals is great, and I like Kelli Williams as well.
